Uvarus texanus (Sharp 1882)
A very rare endemic; The elytral maculations and yellow-brown pronotum are diagnostic; Larson (2000) mentions that only 3 specimens had been collected at the time of publication. Anyways a very nice find!!

Heterosternuta diversicornis
Peter H. Diaz, Texas State University, writes:
...after looking at it closer it is
Heterosternuta diversicornis.
It may have a patch of sete above the prosternal process. It is
H. diversicornis
and not
neoporus
because, in
noeporus
the transverse fasciae are connected longitudinally. In this specimen the lines are not connected. Pete

Heterosternuta phoebeae
(Coleoptera: Dytiscidae), from the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. Coleopterists Bulletin, 57(2): 117-121.
